Fire!

[billroper]

I eventually noticed that there was a klaxon sounding somewhere in the distance. It appears that the building, but not our floor, is on fire somewhere. As a result, the elevators are shut down and I'm sitting here, having been told that we shouldn't go anywhere as we could walk down into a fire. Ok.

There's a fire truck outside, but not much excitement, leading me to believe there's not much in the way of a fire.

I'm hoping that's right.

Update: Well, whatever caused the problem went away, as did the klaxon and the fire truck. I even got to go to lunch...

Talk about excitement. I hope your fire is tiny indeed

If the building burns down with you in it, please tell us!

Ummm...

Who the hell is the bozo "in charge of" your building safety?!? Call down and find out where the fire isn't and get the hell out of there, m'friend! Please.

In fact, our office manager was calling down to find out what was up as I was standing next to her. The good news is that the whole thing seems to have been a non-event for us.

"Don't worry, it's a small fire. But not so small that we want to risk you walking into it. Besides, there's nothing to worry about if you stay put ... the fire's below you."

Right.

Look, you can't walk down into a fire. Heat RISES! You would certainly notice before you burned.
